We lost our Spikey about two months ago and miss him so much. From the very first day he was Mommy’s boy. He always made me proud and never gave us a bit of trouble. He was great with kids and would hide from them if they would get too rambunctious ..it was so funny to see his behind sticking out from the bed, I guess he thought if he couldnt see them they couldnt see him.I could fill pages and pages with stories of how great he was..and I know everyone here could do the same about their special friend..I just wanted to say he was the light of our lives! we miss him every day.

I love your book! My family and I lost our dog Jazz about 5 months ago. She was just a month shy of 13. I was the closest one to her. Jazz had so many problems and medications we didn’t know how much longer she was going to live. Then when we went on vacation we put her in a kennel at our vet. Later we got a call from our vet saying that they think Jazz’s stomach flipped over and she couldn’t even stand up. She needed immediat surgery but it was so exspensive so we decided to put her down. I still miss Jazz to this day and will never forget her. Now we have a new pup and will hope hesays with us for a long time.

My son, Will, brought home a puppy last spring named Wiley. He was a tiny red colored pomoranian. At first I was upset that our other dog, a shi-tzu named Hercules, was going to be jealous and feel left out. It didn’t take long before we were totally in love with Wiley. He was always a happy puppy and you could always count on him to brighten your day, no matter how crummy it had been. As far as Hercules, it didn’t take him long either to be a “Big Brother” to Wiley. They became great pals. Well, yesterday, my son was taking Wiley for a walk, when he got loose from his collarand darted across the street. He was killed instantly when he was hit by a car. Will is feeling very guilty that it was his fault. Our whole family is devistated. We held a funeral last night and prayed for our little Wiley. I sincerely hope that he is happy and prancing around in heaven . We will miss him terribly.

Well, it seems alot of people have sad stories for here. I have a story and it’s not sad, yet. My dog’s name is Brisco, and he is a chow, basset hound mix who stand 18 inches tall and just as long.
I am about to turn 25, and I have had Brisco since I was 10, when he could get lost in your pocket. Now of course, he is 14 and his energy has slowed. He is going blind, and is already deaf. But he is the dog that has been there for me through it all.
Growing up in the military, I’ve never lived anywhere for more than 3 years. He has been the friend I always stay in contact with. I love him like a brother, and a friend. I don’t know how long I’ll have him for but I know I’ll enjoy every second of it.

Mark,
I adopted my pooch, Walter, from a Westie rescue almost 11 years ago. From a wild, crazy dog with numerous issues to an unbelievably different dog today…I know I did a good thing. With him getting older, I\’m getting scared. I must say after reading your book on Christmas day…I\’m even more scared. He\’s perfectlly healthy now, and there is NO doubt I\’ve given him an exceptional life…a chance he wouldn\’t have otherwise had. It doesn\’t make it any easier, but as soon as I think of \”the day will come\”..I put it out of my head. I can\’t even imagine what it will be like…and it\’s crushing me already… Thanks for making me appreciate Walter even more so now!
